It's Getting Easier

We are opening up Scoutlier to all Google teachers, not just Google Classroom users!

 Soon, you will be able to share assignments with your students via a code, much like many of our  favorite edtech tools: Kahoot, Desmos, FlipGrid, and others.

 You won't have to onboard students or sync Google Classrooms, but you certainly still can use the full Google Classroom integration if you'd like to have a record of student outcomes and grading and commenting capabilities.

The effort involved in active learning can be misinterpreted as a sign of poor learning," said  Louis Deslauriers, Director of Science Teaching and Learning . "On the other hand, a superstar lecturer can explain things in such a way as to make students feel like they are learning more than they actually are."

It’s 2019. So why do 21st-century skills still matter?

We hear more and more about how important 21st-century skills are for all learners as they prepare for future careers.  At Scoutlier , we're especially interested in helping provide tools and support teachers in gathering  evidence of learning and improving student outcomes as they practice the 21st-century learning skills, or 4C's in a repetitive and consistent way.  From  Empowering Students with 21st Century Skills - Getting Smart :  ". . . At a time when our civic life feels strained, we want our learners to enter the world with an understanding of what it takes to be a good citizen—one who can be civically engaged, critically thinking, digitally literate, globally aware, and an effective communicator."
